Nurturing expression of children from underserved communities to build agency for better life outcome
23/04/2026
Can reading be both fun and a way to strengthen foundational skills? 🤔
Every day, we enter the classroom with a story to share, breaking hesitation around reading and gradually nurturing a love for it.🌼
Children choose quality literature, engage in self-reading hours, and take ownership of managing their own library. And when we see them gather around their reading corners during free time, we know the library is doing its work, building a culture of reading in government primary schools.📖📚
By giving children access to books beyond the school bag, we are creating pathways to improve reading skills in ways that are joyful and meaningful.

Happy World Poetry Day! 🕊🌻
Poetry connects. Poetry teaches, and Poetry entertains.
In the remote tribal region of Sonbhadra, where access to rich learning experiences is often limited, poems become so much more than words on a page. They bring rhythm, movement, and moments of joy into classrooms.
Through poetry, children begin to think, speak, and express themselves with growing confidence.
We carefully curate poems in our curriculum to nurture not just foundational language skills, but also expression and agency, so every child, no matter where they come from, can find their voice.
We celebrate the quiet, powerful ways in which stories shape who we become.
Storytelling is more than just a activity. It is a voice for children to express, to imagine, and to question.
We adopt a storytelling-based pedagogy not only to strengthen the foundational language and literacy of students, but also to nurture their expression and agency.
Through action-based storytelling, children relate to characters, share their own narratives, and learn to listen deeply to others. In the process, they grow into confident speakers and empathetic listeners.
Because sometimes, the most powerful change begins with a child who learns to tell their story and believes it matters.

Nurturing grassroots changemakers, one skill at a time!🌻
Under Tarunya, our Youth Leadership Program, youth recently participated in their second residential capacity-building workshop, where they learnt about developing practical solutions to local challenges.
During the workshop, youth gained hands-on experience in building rainwater harvesting and water filtration systems. In Padracch, the second-largest gram panchayat in Sonbhadra region, high fluoride levels in water continue to affect the health and well-being of communities.
By equipping young leaders with practical skills, the workshop helped them understand the issue and take informed action within their villages.
We are grateful to our trainers, Shri Jai Narayan Tiwari ji, our key local supporter, and Dr. Rashmi Singh ji from Kisan Vikas Kendra, Sonbhadra, for leading training sessions and supporting youth in their journey of emerging as leaders and community changemakers.

On India Giving Day, we are reminded that the progress of our nation is built on the choices each one of us makes. 🌻
Each one of us builds India.
Each child deserves access to quality education.
And each one of us must ensure that no child is left behind.
In the aspirational district of Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh, where nearly 50% of students in Classes 3 and 5 are unable to read a Grade 2-level text, we partner with government primary schools to strengthen foundational language and literacy among children from marginalised communities, and help build a conducive learning environment in government schools.📚🌼
Support a child’s learning journey for a year.
Because when a child learns, India moves forward.
